The article explores a provocative question raised by Comma AI founder George Hotz about whether AI should be so well-aligned with individual users that it could help someone plan the perfect murder of their spouse. Hotz argues against the premise that AI progress should be managed for collective good, instead advocating for locally controlled AI models closely aligned with their users' interests. He compares user-aligned AI to a gun that "does not complain if you use it to kill your stepmom" and says a truly aligned AI would help users order meth-lab equipment if requested. The author agrees with some of Hotz's points about the value of decentralized AI but pushes back on the extreme individualism of his position. The piece notes that any structure involving many people requires balancing equities and binding individual needs into interdependent systems of accountability. Anyone deploying mass-market tech products should consider the network as a whole, including the interests of potential victims, rather than focusing solely on individual user freedom.
